149: Chapter 149 The Mark Six lottery winnings arrive in the account.

"Don't~" Chen Sheng quickly called a halt.

Don't underestimate Northeastern women for being called tiger-like; Southwest women are just as fierce when they get going.

"If you ask me, if it's really not working out, just quit. I'm actually planning to open another 'A Small Shop Here' soon, and you could help me share the load."

"What? You're planning to open another shop?" An Xiaonuan was stunned by this news.

"Yeah. After I took over the previous shop, I added a delivery service, and the turnover has been great lately. I feel like it can definitely be turned into a chain model, so I'm planning to look for a suitable location in the next few days."

Of course, this was a spur-of-the-moment idea.

The reason for this "idea" lay in the "mark six lottery." Based on the odds, he could get 230,000 this time.

230,000 is definitely still far off for buying a house, but it's more than enough to invest in "A Small Shop Here" to get another slightly larger shop up and running.

Chen Sheng was even thinking that once the T-shirts were sold and the gold futures investment was over, he would use that money to invest in "A Small Shop Here" as well.

By then, holding three retail stores, as long as the two new shops could achieve half the daily turnover of the first one, these three retail stores alone could bring him over a thousand in pure profit every day.

That's 30,000+ a month, 400,000+ a year. This income is much sweeter than buying a house and waiting for it to depreciate.

"Where did you get the money?" An Xiaonuan's question went straight to the core.

"Hehe~ Wait, let me show you something good." Chen Sheng took out the T-shirts hidden in the study. "I received news that the variety show De Hua filmed in Shu City is airing this weekend. Once it airs, I'll sell these off, and the funds will be there."

An Xiaonuan curiously leaned in. Seeing that they were all signed T-shirts, she was completely stunned. Even her speech became a bit stuttery. "You... you... No, where did you get so many signed T-shirts? You didn't go and forge them, did you?"

"Forge? Haha~ You look down on me too much." Chen Sheng curled his lip in disdain.

At that moment, An Xiaonuan felt like she had overlooked something, but she couldn't recall it for a moment.

However...

In the next second, An Xiaonuan glared fiercely at Chen Sheng. "Didn't you say you only had one before? When I asked you for it, you were stingy and didn't want to give it up. What's wrong? Have you gotten cocky, or do you think I can't lift a knife anymore?"

"Just right, Lanlan has been clamoring that she wants one too. Anyway, you have so many, I'm confiscating this one in your hand."

"Don't!" Chen Sheng hurriedly stopped this spendthrift woman. "You're really generous. Do you know how much I plan to sell this one for?"

"How much are you planning to sell it for?" An Xiaonuan asked curiously.

Chen Sheng raised his left hand and spread his five fingers. "This much."

"Five hundred?" An Xiaonuan speechlessly swatted away Chen Sheng's hand that kept waving in front of her eyes. "You'd even give away five hundred? Someone even gave me a bottle of water worth over three hundred last time."

"What five hundred? Five thousand." Chen Sheng raised his voice. "At least five thousand each."

"Five thousand?" An Xiaonuan's voice also involuntarily raised a few notches. She flipped the T-shirt in her hand back and forth for a good while. "Selling this thing for five thousand? You're not crazy, are you?"

"That's where you don't understand. Who is my target audience? Fans. I can only say you know nothing about the craziness of fans."

An Xiaonuan asked suspiciously: "Can it really be sold?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble?"

Seeing Chen Sheng's confident appearance, An Xiaonuan quickly stuffed the T-shirt into Chen Sheng's hand. "Forget it then, you should just take it and sell it for money."

"Not giving it away anymore?" Chen Sheng raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

An Xiaonuan immediately waved her hand until it became a blur, her tone firm: "She doesn't deserve it."

"Hehe~"

This is a woman.

A group of four, yet they can create a dozen chat groups.

Chen Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew!"

If this matter were to be investigated, there were actually many unreasonable points, such as why there were so many T-shirts?

These were all impossible to explain.

Fortunately, An Xiaonuan didn't ask, which made Chen Sheng sigh in relief.

Soon, the time reached 9:40.

Just as Chen Sheng wanted to send a message to Liu Quan to ask about the lottery results, a video request from Liu Quan suddenly popped up on the green bubble.

Chen Sheng glanced at An Xiaonuan, who was intently watching a period idol drama, and quietly went to the study. After closing the door, he clicked to accept.

Immediately, Liu Quan's voice, raspy from smoking too much, came through the receiver.

"Brother, congratulations. You hit the special number today. According to the 1:46 odds, it's 230,000 in total. I'll take a 5,000 cut. Give me an account number, and I'll quickly transfer the money to you."

"Really?" Chen Sheng immediately expressed his surprise, slapped his thigh hard, and started jumping up and down. "Haha, I said people can't be unlucky forever, haha~"

It must be said that after this period of practice, Chen Sheng absolutely acted out seven or eight parts of a lottery player... no, a gambler's change in expression after winning.

After celebrating for a while, Chen Sheng reined in some of his expressions, though he was still excited. "Thanks to Brother Liu's auspicious place. How about this, Brother Liu, just transfer 220,000 to me. That 5,000 will be my treat for Brother Liu to have some tea."

Giving 5,000 was because Chen Sheng felt that if similar information came out next time, he could continue to operate through Liu Quan, so he used the 5,000 to maintain this relationship.

He even thought that if similar information came out again, his next bet wouldn't be 5,000 on one number, but 20,000.

According to the 1:46 odds, that would be 920,000.

For something like the "mark six lottery," as long as the single income doesn't exceed 1 million, he figured such a big dealer could handle it and wouldn't have to pack up and run.

"Yo~ Brother, you're generous. I won't say anything else, but if there are good projects in the future, I will definitely notify you first."

Liu Quan smiled.

Originally, according to the rules, he was supposed to take a half-percent cut, but thinking that this was Chen Sheng's first time buying from him and he hit it directly, he decided to use the "buying a horse bone with a thousand gold" strategy, packaging Chen Sheng's example as an advertisement to promote to other clients in his hands.

As a result, he didn't expect Chen Sheng to be so savvy and actively give up 5,000 in profit to him.

Liu Quan was even happier now and immediately burst into laughter.

"Then I won't be polite." Chen Sheng sent the card number to Liu Quan.

Soon, the phone rang with a notification of the arrival of funds.

"Brother Liu, money received. Let's all get rich together."

"Good! Let's get rich together."

The two chatted a few more times, and Liu Quan, busy with promotion, took the initiative to hang up the video.

Seeing the video hang up, Chen Sheng immediately jumped up, clenched his fists, and made several "YES!" in the air.

This time it was a real celebration.

After celebrating, Chen Sheng immediately transferred 50,000 to Old Yu.

As the saying goes, if you borrow and return, it's not hard to borrow again.

Soon, Old Yu's call came in. "Woc! Old Chen, are you playing for real?"

"You are talking nonsense. When have I not played for real? You didn't think I was trying to fool you, did you?" Chen Sheng felt that Old Yu didn't believe he could repay the loan immediately at all.

The fact was indeed so; after all, according to normal logic, why would you borrow for such a short time?

"Hehe~" Old Yu gave two dry laughs to cover up the momentary embarrassment when he was exposed, then immediately changed the subject. "I'll be back in a few days. Just asking about today's matter, shouldn't you treat me to a good meal?"

"Must be. Seriously, today's matter really helped me a lot. Never mind eating, if you want a full package of foot massage and spa, just let me know when you get back, and I'll arrange it for you immediately. I'll have Brother Chao keep you company."

Chen Sheng basically did a no-cost business of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs today, so he definitely had to accept Old Yu's favor of 50,000.

"Woc! Rare, Old Chen. To be able to make you offer a full package, it seems this help was really not small. I won't say anything else, this time I must make you bleed heavily. Wait for my call." Old Yu's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Must be a must."

The two chatted for a while longer, and the topic naturally drifted to Brother Chao, then Chen Sheng naturally shared with Old Yu, who had helped him a lot, about Brother Chao buying ten pairs of color-fading underwear for nine-ninety, and how Comrade Xiao Chao thought he had a disease because of the color bleeding, making him accompany him to the hospital, plus the series of events that happened at the hospital.

After the story was finished, Old Yu immediately hung up the phone, apparently going to find Brother Chao.
